INTEODUCTION. 



LHTJYD says, ** that to preserve any old language in print is, without all doubt a most 
pleasant and obliging thing to scholars and gentlemen, and altogether necessary in 
the study of antiquity/' 

This remark is peculiarly applicable to the ancient language of Cornwall, the 
remains of which are so well worth preserving. We call it the ancient language of 
Cornwall, but in reality the remains are those which were once spoken far beyond the 
limits of the most westerly county of England. A language only recently extinct, and 
dating from almost unknown time. 

" The Celts, says Max MuUer, seem to have been the first of the Aryans to arrive 
in Europe ; but the pressure of subsequent migrations, particularly of Teatonic tribes, 
has driven them towards the westernmost parts, aad latterly from Ireland, across the 
Atlantic. The only remaining dialects are the Welsh, the Cornish, lately extinct, the 
Armorican of Brittany, the Irish, the Gaelic of the West Coast of Scotland, and the 
dialect of the Isle of Man." 

" Gaul, Belgium, and Britain were Celtic Dominions, and the North of Italy was 
chiefly inhabited by them. In the time of Herodotus, we find the Celts in Spain ; and 
Switzerland, the Tyrol, and the country south of the Danube, have onee been seats of 
Celtic tribes. A Celtic colony settled in Asia, and founded Galatia, where the language 
spoken at the time of St. Jerome was still that of the Gauls." 

As to the Cornish branch of the ancient language of the Celts, Drew (Hist, of Corn- 
wall, vol. 1. p. 218) remarks that, *' the Cornish tongue is generally admitted to be a 
dialect of that language, which till the Saxons came in, was common to all the western 
parts of Britian, and more anciently to Ireland and Gaul.'' 

in latter times we find the Cornish language still struggling for existence, and re- 
treating across the banks of the Tamar Polwhele, (Hist, of Cornwall, vol. 3. pp. 28. 29. 
Ed. of 1803) says, ** the Conqueror and his followers, as soon as they were settled in 
this country made every effort to substitute the Norman-French for the Anglo-Saxon, 
which was generally spoken in England. In their attempts, however, to recommend 
their own language to the attention of the English, both themselves and their successors 
were for several generations unsuccessful. The Saxon prevailed in everjr part of England 
excepting Devonshire and Cornwall. In Devon indeed, it became fashionable among the 
superior orders of the people, though the inferior classes adhered firmly to their old verna- 
cular tongue. Not that the Comu-British was abandoned by every Devonian of rank or 
education. It was certainly spoken in Devonshire by persons of distinction, long after 
the present period."

ii. INTEODUCTION. 

At length the language of the Cornish Celts was heaten back towards the extreme 
west where it has ceased to be spoken almost within living memory. 

There were many causes tending to hasten the time when the old tongue would 
become extinct, and writers of Cornish history, although agreeing in general statements, 
differ from each other in some particulars. 

About the time of the Eeformation a fatal blow was given, when the Cornish 
language was disused in the services of the Church. How this was done is variously 
stated. Borlase (Nat. Hist, of Cornwall, p. 315) asserts that, " when the liturgy at the 
reformation was appointed by authority to take the place of the mass, the Cornish desired 
(Scawen, p. 49), that it should be in the English language, being apprehensive that it 
might be injoined them in their mother tongue, as it was with regard to the Welsh. By 
this means, and the gentry mixing gradually with the English, the Cornish language 
lost ground, in proportion as it lay nearep to Devon.*' 

This statement of Borlase, the clever but dogmatic Whitaker (Anc. Cathedral of 
Cornwall, vol. 2. p. 37), emphatically contradicts. He insists that, ^' the English too was 
not desired by the Cornish, as vulgar history says, and as Dr. Borlase avers ; but, as 
the case shews itself plainly to be, forced upon the Cornish by the tyranny of England, at 
a time when the English language was yet unknown in Cornwall. This act of tyranny 
was at once gross barbarity to the Cornish people, and a death blow to the Cornish lan- 
guage." Alluding to the first use of the English service in Menheniot church, Mr. 
Whitaker says, " that had the liturgy been translated into Cornish as it was in Welsh, 
the Cornish language would have been preserved to the present moment." 

But other causes were at work to which I will allude in my summary of Scawen's 
treatise on this subject. 

Another version is given in Lake's Parochial History of Cornwall (vol. 1. p. 103), 
thus : — " Humphrey Arundell, the leader of the Cornish insurgents in 1549, resided at 
Helland, near Bodmin. He was governor of St. Michael's Mount, and a man of some 
military reputation. The Comishmen in this rebellion were^ probably as much instigated 
by the attempt of the government to displace the old language in the service of the 
church as by the other innovations made upon their teligion. 

'^ Among the fifteen articles insisted upon by Arundell and his fellow rebels as the 
price of their submission, the eighth stipulates that, '' we will not receive the new service, 
because it is but like a Christian game ; but we will have our •Id serviceM)f Latin as it 
was before. And so we Comishmen, whereof certain of us understand no English, utterly 
refuse this." 

One thing is certain that when the English service was first used in Cornwall, at 
the end of the reign of that pious king Henry VIII,(1509-1547), Cornish was known and 
spoken from the Tamar to the Land's End. 

It was in Menheniot church that the English service was first used, abont 1540. 
Dr. Moreman who was the Yicar, was the first minister who taught his parishioners 
the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Commandments, in English. It is evident in thus 
teaching the parishioners English, about the year 1540, at Menheniot, and not far from 
the Tamar, that Cornish was then the common speech in use among the people of that 
district.

INTRODUCTION. iii. 

The English service, though first used in Menheniot church, was not universally 
read in the Cornish churches. Hals (Paroch. Hist., p. 133) says, " the Cornish tongue 
was so long retained in this parish (Peook) by the old inhabitants thereof till about the 
year 1640, that Mr. William Jackman, then vicar thereof. Chaplain of Pendennis Castle, 
at the seige thereof by the parliament army, was forced for divers years to administer 
the sacrament to the communicants in the Cornish tongue, because the aged people did 
not well understand the English, as he himself (says Hals), has often told me." 

Drew's (Hist, of Cornwall, vol. 1. p. 224), remarks that, " although the Cornish 
' language appears to have been excluded from sdl our Coinish churches, except Feock and 
Landwednack, so early as the year 1640, yet it was not driven from common conver- 
sation until a much later period. So late as 1(550, the Cornish language was currently 
spoken in the parishes of Paul and St. Just ; the fish- women and market-women in the 
former, and the tinners in the latter, for the most part conversing in their old vernacular 
tongue." 

It is stated by Scawen, ^^ that the Rev. F. Robinson, rector of Landwednack preached 
a sermon to his parishioners in the Cornish language only." This was about the year 
1678, and appears to be the record of the last sermon in Cornish. 

But Cornish was not yet extinct, as the following statement will prove. 

Lhuyd, who has done so much for ancient Conish, gives us in his learned work the 
ArchsBologia Britannica, (p. 153), a glimpse of the state of the Cornish tongue. The 
spelling of the names of places is here given as he wrote them. Writing about the year 
1707 Lhuyd informs us that, " the places in Cornwall that at this day retain the ancient 
language are the parishes of St. Just, St. Paul, Burrian, Sunnin, St. Lavan, St. Krad, 
Morva, Maddem, Sunner, Tewednok, St. Ives, Lelant, Leigian, Kynwal, or (as now, 
1707, pronounced) Gylval; a'nd all along the sea-shoar from the Land's End to St. 
Eevem's near the Lizard point. But a good many of the inhabitants of these parishes, 
especially the Oentry, do rxQft understand it; there being no necessity thereof, in regard 
there's no* Cornish man but speaks good English." 

We come now to a later period. The familiar name of Dolly Pentreath reminds 
us that we have reached a period when the old language was all but quitp dead. 
A good deal of doubt has been created respecting the truth of the tales about Dolly 
Pentreath. I»to the controversy it is not necessary for me to enter. I will only say that 
I obtained, in the summer of 1882, valuable, and reliable information from Mr. Bernard 
Yicter, of Moushole, near Penzance. He is the grandson of George Badcock, who was 
the undertaker at old Dolly's funeraL Mr. Victor remembers his grand&ther, Oteorge 
Badcock, from whom the information was orally given to him. The full particulars are 
given about Dolly in my " Glossary of the Cornish dialect/' and they would take too 
much space to be recorded here. The main facts, as 1 believe them to be, are these, viz : 
that DoUy died on December 26, 1777, aged 102 years; that she was the last known person 
whose mother tongue was Cornish^ and that she knew no other language until she was a 
grown woman ; that those who lived after her time, although they could converse more 
or less perfectly in Cornish, yet they were bom and brought up when children to speak 
English.

iv. INTRODUCTION. 

That Cornish was known to some after Dolly died, is proved by the epitaph written 
in the old language, and never, so far as is known, placed on Dolly's grave about the time 
of her burial. 

From the foregoing sketch we may see how surely, if slowly, the ancient language 
became extinct. 

Even now, some remains of the old tongue are remembered quite apart from books. 

In the Cornishman (a newspaper published in Tenzance), there were in 1879, lists 
of old Cornish words, one by Mr. Bernard Victor above mentioned, and another by Mr. 
Fentreath. Each list contained about 150 words which each gentlemen had orally 
learnt. 

I alluded, in a previous page, to the interesting treatise by Mr. Scawen, of Molenick 
(he died aged about 84 iu 1089), on •* The causes of the Cornish Speech's Decay." 

Scawen's dissertation is given in full in D. Gilbert's *' Cornwall," (vol. 4. pp. 190- 
221), and also in Grose's "Antiquarian Repertory," (1807-9), vol. 3. pp. 208-234. 

The following is a summary account of the causes which, according to Scaweu, 
brought to an end the use of ancient Cornish : — 

1. The want of letters, or '*of a chamcter," and of authors or writers, as in the 
cases of Home and Greece, to hand the language down. 

2. The custom of the Druids to depend on memory only, and rarely on writings. 

3. The great loss to us of Armorica (Brittany), whose people were so closely allied 
to us by race and language, and the decreasing of the mutual interchanges between 
that country and Cornwall. 

4. The gradual cessation of the Miracle Flays being acted and recited before 
multitudes of Cornish in their ^* Bounds " or Plaen an Gwar6. 

6. The loss of the old stories and traditions of the Ancient Cornish. 

6. The loss of ancient records '' which some aflirm were burnt, and otherb lost in 
the ancient ruins, as of Bestormal, and other castles." 

7. ^^ Disuetude, or want of a continual use." 

8. '< A general stupidity," or ignorance and indifference as to the past. 

9. The decay of what learning there was after the suppression of the Druids, and 
^' no reparation thereof when the supposed saints " came to Cornwall ; and for latter 
times learned men who came among us, ^' seeing our own neglect of our tongue," did 
not think it worthy of being studied by them. 

10. The speech ** invaded," and " eaten up " by the use of Saxon words for ancient 
names. 

11. The near vicinity to Devon, and the Saxons, whose influence extended to tjie 
west and corrupted the language. 

12. The gentry, who anciently kept themselves in their own county, marrying out 
of it, and so admitting more '* Saxonage."

INTRODUCTION. v. 

13. The coining in of all sorts of strangers upon us. 

14. Not having the church service continued in the ancient tongue, as it was in 
Wales. 

15. **The little or no help, rather discouragement " of the gentry who in Crom- 
welPs time rather laughed at the poor who persisted in speaking it. 

16. The want of writing it is the great cause of its decay, for the characters ** now 
in use," would have saved it. And, says Scav/en, " here I cannot but lament the want 
of such persons, books, records, and papers, wMch were late in being ^ and not now to be 
had, and my misfortune in not having translated them/' as for instance, the MS. of 

Anguin, and ^^ a Cornish Accidence which was destroyed by children before it 

could be brought to me," and a ^' Matins in Cornish but I could never 

attain to it." 

'* The language, says Drew (Hist, of Cornwall, vol. i, p. 218), which was once spoken 
in this county by our British ancestors, awakens our bolicitude from motives of local 
attachment, and becomes particularly interesting from the singular circumstance of its 
being now no more. At present we behold its mighty shadow in the pages of our history, 
and even this is gradually disappearing. The only scattered remnants which have sur- 
vived its oral existence, may be found in those provincial phrases, and local names for 
which Cornwall is so peculiarly remarkable."

THE REMAINS 



OF 



CORNISH LITERATURE. 



AFTER the account which has been given of the causes of the decay of the Ancient 
Cornish Language, an inquiry as to the remains of Ancient, or Celtic Cornish 
Literature naturally follows. 

There is no eyidence to prove that anything was ever printed in Cornish before 
1707, when the ArchsBologia Britannica by Lhuyd was published, ^'giving some account 
additional to what has been hitherto published of the Languages, Histories, and Customs 
of the Original Inhabitants of Great Britain from Collections and Observations in Tra« 
vels through Wales, Cornwall, Bas Bretagne, L*eland, and Scotland, by Edward Lhuyd, 
M.A. of Jesus CoUege, Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, April 9th, 1707." 
This learned work contains a Cornish Preface, a Cornish Grammar, and a great number 
of Cornish words. A reference to the preface to Pryce's Cornish Dictionary, ^ given in 
the appendix of this book) will help the reader to judge how valuable were the labours 
of Lhuyd. 

Li the year 1754 was published the first, and in 1769 the second edition of the 
^^ Antiquities, Historical and Monumental of the County of Cornwall," by William 
Borlase. Each edition has a Cornish-English Vocabulary which contains about 4000 
Cornish words. Borlase in the preface to this Vocabulary says '* The Helps I have re- 
ceived I must acknowledge chiefly owing to the Archaaologia of the late Mr. Edward 

Lhuyd who has published a Grammar of the Cornish, and therein preserved the 

Elements of this Language, which had otherwise wholly perished with him, and his 
friend Mr. John Keigwyn, who was indeed Mr. Lhuyd's Tut our in this Point of Learn- 
ing, and died a few years after him Besides Mr. Lhuyd's Works, I have been 

£AV0ured with the perusal of a curious MS. written by the late Mr. Sea wen of Molinek, in 
Cornwall, in which, first, there was a Part of a Cornish MS. called Mount Calvary, with 
a Verbal English Translation (no small Help to a beginner) 

" I had the fevour of perusing what the late William Gwavas, Esq ; (after Mr. 
Keigwyn ; and Mr. Lhuyd, the most knowing of his Age in the Cornish Tongue) left 
behind him ; and a few MSS. of the late Mr. lioson ; part of Mr. Hals's Cornish 
Vocabulary, and some Translations of several parts of the Holy Scripture. Lastly I have 
inserted the Cornish Vocabulary, which is in the Cotton Library, London ; a MS. Mr. 
Lhuyd thought, about seven hundred years old." , . I

viii. THE REMAINS OF CORNISH LITERATURE. 

In 1790, William Pryce, M.D., of Redruth, Cornwall, caused to be published the 
" Archeeologia Comu-Biitannica, or, an Essay to preserve the Ancient Cornish Language, 
containing the Rudiments of that Dialect in a Cornish Grammar, and Cornish-English 
Vocabulary, compiled from a variety of materials which have been inaccessible to all 
other authors, wherein the British Original of some Thousand English Words in com- 
mon use is demonstrated ; together with that of the Proper Names of most Towns, 
Parishes, Villages, Mines, and Gentlemen's Peats and Families, in Wales, Cornwall, 
Devonshire, and other Parts of England/' 

It should be mentioned that Pryce used the MS. compilations of Tonkin and Gwavas, 
done about fifty years before Pryce's time, or about the year 1730. 

Severe strictures have been made on Pryce, but whether the charge of plagiarism 
be true or not, still Pryce worked^ and this should cover a multitude of sins ; and we 
have to thank Pryce for getting the ArchsBologia Comu-Britannica printed. In the 
Appendix to this book will be found Prince Napoleon's letter in which Pryce is called 
a " plagiate." I have also given a verbatim copy of Pryce's preface, so that those who 
read it may judge whether the charge of plagiarism is just or not. 

The Vocabulary in Pryco's book contains about 4000 words. The other contents 
will be noticed further on under the heading '' Minor Remains.' ' 

In the year 1826, Mr. Davies Gilbert caused to be published the Cornish Drama, 
called "Mount Calvary," but it was issued so abounding in typograhical errors as to be 
all but useless. In the year 1862, a corrected copy "under the care of a most able 
scholar," Mr. Whitley Stokes, was published for the Philological Society. 

The MS. ofMfountCalvary was written in the fifteeuth, century. Williams in the 
Preface to his Lexicon Comu-Britannicum thus describes it. " It contained 250 stanzas 
of eight lines each in heptasyllabic metre with alternate rhymes. The subject of this 
Poem is the Trial and Crucifixion of Christ. There are four copies of this manuscript, 
the oldest being in the British Museum, and the other three appear to be copies taken 
from it. Two of them are in the Bodleian Library, and in these a translation by John 
Keigwin is written on the opposite page. 

Norris {Cornish Drama) says, '^ a third paper copy has recently been found in 
Cornwall ; it is in folio, and has the English Translation, which is not carried quite to the 
close of the work. This copy is now (July, 1858) in the possession of Mr. Hotten, book- 
seller of Piccadilly. This volume contains also the '* Creation '' of William Jordan, and 
a translation of Lhuyd's Preface to his Cornish Grammar in the ArohjBBologia Britannica, 
made by the joint labours of Gwavas and Tonkin ; it is the one printed by Pryce in the 
Archseologia Comu-Britannica.'- 

In 1827 was published ^' The Creation of the World with Noah^s Flood," written 
jli Cpipish in the year 1611 by William Jordan ; with an English Translation by John 
Keigwin. This Edition was edited by Mr. Davies Gilbert, but it also is nearly useless 
because of the numerous typographical errors it contains. At the end are the First 
Chapter of Genesis, and other miscellaneous pieces written in Cornish. A correct edi- 
tion, with a translation on the opposite pages, and notes at the end of the book, was 
published by the Philological Society in 1864. This edition is entitled " Gwreans an 
Bys, The Creation of the World, a Cornish Mystery," edited with a translation and notea 
by William Stokes.

THE EEMAINS OF C0ENI8H LITERATURE. ix. 

This play contains 2548 lines. The Cornish is that of the Language in its deeay, 
and mixed with many borrowed words from the English. 

In the year 1859 "The Ancient Cornish Drama" edited and translated by Mr. 
Edwin Norris, Secretary, R.A.S. was publish<^d at the University Press, Oxford. It is 
in two volumes 8vo. The first volume contains the " Ordinale de Origine Mundi," 
or the Beginning of the World. There are 2846 lines. The next is the " Passio 
Domini nostri Jhesu Christi," or the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. This contains 
3242 lines. 

The second volume begins with the " Ordinale de Resurrexione Domini nostri 
Jhesu Christi," or the Drama of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This ex- 
tends to 2646 lines. The translations are given on the opposite pages. 

The second volume contains also Notes, a Sketch of Cornish Grammar, and the 
Ancient Cornish Vocabulary in alphabetical order. An Appendix of more than 70 
pages ends the work. The Old Cornish Vocabulary in this work is also in- the Gram- 
matica Celtica of Zeuss but without alphabetical arrangement. 

The MS. of this old Vocabulary entitled '* Vocabularium Wallicum" was first 
proved to be Cornish and not Welsh, by Lhuyd, who mentions it in his ArohsBologia. 
Williams speaks of it as being " of great philological importance/' It was written 
in the thirteenth century, and may be, says Williams, a copy of an older original. 

The three Dramas above mentioned are very valuable remains, and equal in amount 
all the rest of the old Language. The Cornish in them is of great purity. These 
Dramas are of the same age as " Mount Calvary." 

In the year 1865 was published in quarto, pp. 398, that fine work the Lexicon 
Comu-Britannicum, '' a Dictionary of the Ancient Celtic Language of Cornwall, in which 
the words are elucidated by copious examples from the Cornish works now remaining, 
with translations in English. The synonyms are also given in the cognate dialects 
Welsh, Armoric, Irish, Gaelic, and Manx, shewing at one view the connection between 
them. By the Rev. Robert Williams, M. A." This is indeed a grand addition to the Celtic 
Literature of Cornwall. For such a work philologists, and Comishmen, will be for ever 
grateful. 

About four years after the publication of the Lexicon Comu-Britannicum another 
interesting and valuable manuscript was discovered, entitled Bewnans Meriasek, or the 
Life of Saint Meriasek. This Cornish Drama was published in 1872, and ably edited, 
with a translation and notes, by Mr. Whitley Stokes. It contains 4568 lines of which 
a translation is given on the opposite pages. 

The following is from the Preface by Mr. Stokes, 

*' The drama of the Life of St. Meriasek, Bishop and Confessor was found about the 
year 1868, (Mr. Stokes, in 1872, said '* about three years ago ") among the Hengwrt 
MSS. by Mr. Wynne of Peniarth. The first thirty six lines were printed in the Aroh- 
©ologia Cambrensis for 18^9, p. 409, by the Rev. Robert Williams of Ehydycroesau, 
but the remainder is now (1872) for the first time published. 

^^ The manuscript is a small paper quarto, measuring eight and a half inches by six, 
in an old brown leather binding now labelled on the back * 310, Cornish Mystery,' and 
on tht top side ' Legendary &c. Lives of Saints, No. 2, 7 books, 310.' Inside the cover 

is a yellow label on which is printed ^ E. Wmes. Vaughan Hengwrt' It contains .

leaves paginated in pencil, and a leaf six and a quarter inches by six (marked 91* , 91**) 
inserted immediately before the forty sixth leaf. The versos of leaves 49 and 90 are 
occupied with rude plans of the staee. Half of p. 97, and three fourths of p. 179 are 
blank. The colophon states that the MS. was finished by ' Dominus Hadton,' in the 
year 1504

and is carefully preserved at Peniarth, near Towyn, Merionethshire." 

"Except a few English, French, and Latin oaths, curses, and other phrases 
scattered through the play, its language is Middle Cornish, but rather more modem

THE MINOR REMAINS OF CORNiaH LITERATURE. 

N addition to what has been already stated, it may be useful to give lists of what may 
be called the minor remains of Cornish Literature, together with any information 
connected with them. 

In Pryce's Dictionary, already noticed, are also the following, viz : — The Lord's 
Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments, all of which are given in Ancient and 
Modern Cornish. Also a collection of Proverbs, Mottoes, Rhymes, and Songs in the 
Modem or Vulgar Cornish. These are followed by Numbers, and the names of the 
months. Next to these are : — 

1. One Parson's Certificate to another to marry a person whose Banns have been 
called. 

2. On the verdict of the twelve honest men of the County of Middlesex ; and 
the judgment of the four Barons thereon. 

8. To Neighbour Nicholas Pentreath. 

4. Advice from a Friend in the Country, to his Neighbour that went up to receive 
^16,000 in London. By Mr. John Boson, of Newlyn. 

6. On a Lazy Idle Weaver. 

6. Verses on the Marazion Bowling-Ghreen, and Club. 

7. Advice to all DrunkardS| and Company. 

8. A Cornish Riddle. 

9. Advice to all Men* 

10. Another. (Advice).

THE GWAVA8 MANUSCRIPTS, xi. 

11. A concluding one. (Advice). 

12. A Cornish Soug. 

All those numbered above have translations in English on the opposite columns. 

In pp. 55-64, Pryce has also given a " Specimen of the Modem Comish, collated 
with the Welsh, with an English translation." 

The book ends with letters from Lhuyd to Tonkin. They are very interesting as 
may be supposed. One of the letters has a long poem in Comish and Latin entitled, " In 
Obitum Eegis Wilhelmi 3tu Carmen Britannicum, Dialecto Comubiensi ; Ad Norman 
Poetarum Secnli Sexti." 

In the Western Morning News of August 2nd, 1871, an excellent list of the Gwavas 
manuscripts may be found. It is so good that it will suitably conclude this account of 
OfHmish Hemains.

disputes with the fishermen of that parish respecting the tything of fish.'' 

Sometime ago there was published *' Some observations on the Bev. B. WiUiams's

INTEODUCTION. xiii. 

referring to Mr. Owavas besides those already mentioned. Some of Mr. Gwavas's 
Cornish writings have been printed by Borlase, Pryoe, and Polwhele. Mr. Gwavas died 
in 1741, and was buried at Paul, near Penzance, on the 9th January in that year." 

It is stated {Biblioth Oomub. Yeale, Eliz*".) that the first and third chapters of 
Genesis in Celtic Cornish were written by Mrs. Elizabeth Yeale the eldest daughter 
of William Qwavaa. 

There is a curious paragraph in an old newspaper called " Brice's Weekly Journal,'' 
formerly published at Exeter. 

In it, June and July, 1727, appeared '' The Exmoor Scolding," in which occurs this 
passage : " And I hear of a gentleman in Cornwall (in Antique Age Senowned — for 
Love to Satnt8 , and Shipwrecks !J who has taken noble mighty pains in translating the 
Bible into Cornish, or Comubian Welsh "—I do not know of any MS. translation such 
as Brice speaks of. Perhaps the pbrase ^^ translating the Bible " may only mean such 
parts as have been before noticed. 

It has been, and still is, a popular belief that there is not much of the old language 
left. The catalogue of remains here given goes far to prove that the popular belief is 
wrong. It should be remembered that besides the printed books in Cornish, there are 
numbers of ancient Cornish words still in use. Then, again, the name^s of persons and 
phices, derived from the old tongue, amount to at least 20,000 words. These may be 
seen in '* The Glossary of Cornish Names " by the Eev. John Bannister. Boughly 
counted there are about eight thousand Cornish words in Dr. Williams's Lexicon, four 
thousand in Pryce's vocabulary, and about four thousand in that of Borlase. 

These numbers must not be added together. Excluding the names of persons and 
places^ and numbering from all other remaining sources, it may be stated that about 
fifteen thousand words of the Celtic language of Cornwall have been saved to us. 
Borlase has many words not to be found in Pryce, and vice versa. There are also many 
words in Pryce and Borlase not to be found in Williams. Such works in Cornish as are 
preserved are valuable, because we find in them specimens of the language in its various 
stages of purity and decay. Although the books are not numerous and would occupy 
but a small space in a library, yet the words and phrases are sufficient to express almost 
every form of thought. 

It has been said that the husbandman expresses all his thoughts by using four or 
five hundred words, and Shakspere used about 15,000 words. Thus it may be seen 
that the ** remains " of Celtic Cornish stand far beyond the vocabulary of the rustic, 
and rival in their amount the words of Shakspefe. Still, we have to lament that 
much of the old tongue is quite lost to us, and especially in regard to the names of things. 
In making this compilation the following rules appeared to be the best, and most 
practical, viz : — 

1. To collect all the words which should find a place in an English-Cornish 
Dictionary. 

2. To quote some Cornish phrases for the sake of illustration. 

3. To give the various forms or spellings of the words just as they are found in 
ihe remains of ancient Cornish, without constructing a single word^ or phrase^ and without 
alteration or addition.

xiv. INTRODUCTION. 

4. To place the various spellings of the words in a gradational form, for the sake 
of their being more easily compared. 

5. To give one authority at least for each word and phrase, for the sake of an easy 
reference to the originals. 

These rules have been followed, and the scholar will well know how to judge of 
what rests on the authority of Williams, or Borlase, or Pryce, or others. All Cornish 
words known to me as still in oral use in the Cornish dialect are here included. Some 
of these are doubtful, but it is safer to keep than to lose them. 

It seemed an endless and a hopeless task to bring the chaos of Cornish orthography 
into anything like order. 

However, by adopting a gradational arrangement of the various spellings, there is 
the satisfaction of finding that words, which when apart were hardly to be known, so 
uncouth is the spelling, become, when grouped or placed in gradationaf order, explana-* 
tory of one another 

All through the book there are four principal reference letters, viz. : W.N.P. and 
B, which are used to indicate that words so marked may be found somewhere or other in 
the pages of Williams, Norris, Pryce, or Borlase. 

There are letters, and also figures, of which information is given in the ** Explan-* 
ations," q.v. 

Somepluralsof nouns are given, sometimes separately, and occasionally immediately 
after the nouns. 

Participles are not often written. The student will know how to form them, and 
therefore a frequent admission is not required. 

The grammar is fi-om the Lexicon Comu-Britannicum of Williams, and given here 
as in his work. 

It was intended to illustrate each word by at least one Cornish quotation, but life 
is short, art is locg. 

I have been able to find many words, and to quote many Cornish phrases from the 
Beunans Meriasek, which was printed after Dr. Williams's Lexicon was published. 

It may be asked, what is the use of an English-Cornish Dictionary ? Is it a literary 
want ? Will it fill a gap in Celtic Cornish literature ? 

When we remember the labours of Lhuyd, Keigwyn, Gwavas, Tonkin, Pryce, 
Borlase, PolwheJe, Williams, Norris, Stokes, Bannister, and others, there cannot be a 
doubt that the reply should be in the affirmative. If such men thought it necessary to 
take so much trouble in preserving the remains of Ancient Cornish then surely this effort 
of mine needs no apology. 

Whether the Celtic Scholar will care for such a work as this is not for me to say, 
but I am very sure that Cornishmen especially, and many who are not natives of Cornwall, 
heartily encourage everything which helps to preserve what is left of the old language of 
Cornwall.

INTEODUCTION. xv. 

Borlase (Antiq. of Cornwall, 1st Ed.), in the Prefece to his Ccrnish Vocabulary, says, 
" I hope tho* what follows is not compleat, it may lay a foundation, and provoke some 
one of more leisure, to add to it an English- Cornish Vocabulary. ^^ 

Such a hope from so eminent a Cornish writer acquires the force of a command, and 
not only deserves respect, but demands fulfilment. 

My much regretted friend Dr. Bannister began an English-Cornish Dictionary, but 
he did not live to complete it, and the unfinished MS. lies buried in the British Museum. 
Dr. Bannister, like Borlase, considered such a book as this a literary want. 

A Cornish Dictionary without the English-Coniish part of it is like a bird with one 
wing. The missing wing, imperfect it may be, I have attempted to supply, 

What should we say of a Latin Dictionary without an English-Latin division? 

My wish ha^ been to compile a handy dictionary, so that anyone might find, so far 
as the remains of the ancient language will allow, what is the Cornish for an English word. 

The labours of others have made such a task comparatively easy ; indeed, without 
the works of Williams, &c., this compilation would have been impossible to me, and I 
have to acknowledge the invaluable assistance derived from all sources. 

This is simply a piece of literary drudgery, which, to use the words of Borlase, "will 
I hope, be useful to my countrymen, and satisfactory to aU who will not be too 8cra« 
pulouB and critical."

the short. When long it has the soimd of a, as in 
the English words, laney eane ; thus the Comi^ (2^, 
a man; niv, heaven, were sounded as the English 
words, dane, nave. The long e is distinguished by a 
circumflex. E short was pronouced as in the English 
words, fen, hen, pen. In Cornish e is constantly con- 
founded with y, as in dSdh, dydh, a day, dehow, dyhow, 
the right, &c.

FACE. 



FAIRER. 



In Cornish,/, is also a regular matation of b and m, by 
hardening v after certain particles ; thus bpdh, will 
be ; ^y a rpdh, thou sbalt be ; afpdh ny, we shall be. 
£rdi, great; yn frds, greatly; mds, good; yn fda, 
well. 

In the Ordinalia/ is often found after particles which 
always soften the initials, and the following sentence 
furnishes an instance of this confusion. 

N^p na cry 9 fiy fydh sylwys, na gans Dew ny vydh tryyys, 
he that believes not shall not be saved, nor with (iod 
shall he dwell. In these cases /had the sound of v, 
as in the modem Welsh, (see Lhuyd, 227). 

In the latest days of the existt>nce of the language, / 
had a mutation like b, and m, into v. Lhuyd, 241, 
gives as an instance, ford/i, a way ; an vordh, the way. 
He also mentions another mutation of / into A, as 
Jldh, a child ; a'n hldh, of the child ; dhe'n hldh, to

*' This letter is both primary and secondary in the six 
Celtic dialects. 

Its sound is the same as in the English words, yain, yet, 
yivOf go. (It is sometimes soft, f.w.p.j.) 

When radical or primary its commutation is formed in 
Cornish by omitting it altogether, as atarie, a wife ; 
an wrie, tiie wife ; yalloe, power ; y auoe, his power. 

When however y was followed by o or u, then w waf 
prefixed, as yoloe^ sight ; an woloe, the sight ; y4/,

•* This letter, sounded as in EngUsb, is not only an 
aspiration, but a distinct letter, and has two separate 
offices. 

First, it is employed to aspirate initial vowels after 
certain words preceding:— thus ffalla/y I am able; 
ny allaf, I am not able ; may haflaf, that I may be 
able ; gallouch, ye are able ; ny aliouch, ye are not 
able ; may hallouch^ that ye may be able. 

Secondly, in Comisb h is frequently used as a substitute 
for tbe guttural ch: — thus tchSh for clw4eh^ six; 
mark for march, a horse ; golhy for golcky^ to wasb ; 
dh'y huhudha. for dh^y chnhudha, to accuse ber ; yn y 
holm, for yn y chohny in ber heart," w. Lex, Corn,

ENGLISH CHANGES OF CELTIC 
COKNISH NAMES. 



DuBiKG the long period that the ancient Cornish language was gradually decaying, many names of farms, 
fields, hills, valleys, etc., underwent a curious change ; old Cornish names took an English form, and thm 
original meanings of many of them have heen completely lost. 

Under this process the old words have assumed a phonetic disguise in English, and Celtic Cornish names, 
which are very descriptive, and were easily understood by the old Cornish people, have become quite meta- 
morphosed by English use and interpretation. 

The following list is given as an illustration of the constancy with which names are handed down from, 
generation to generation. It will, however, be seen that such names, permanent as they are in themselves, rapidlj 
lose their true signification when they become a part of another language. Such has been the fate of a very larg» 
number of Celtic Cornish names of places. 

In the examples given below, the definitions are mostly according to Dr. Bannister, but with some varia- 
tions. (See his Glossary of Cornish Names.) 

Although many names of places admit of various explanations, yet the following list will afford singnlar 
instances of the phonetic changes of Oomish names into English — a mere glance will show how utterly 
different the English names are from the Celtic Cornish terms and meanings. All the words in the following 
list have been compared with those of the AreJusologia Comu-Britannica of Pryce, and the Lexicon ComU' 
Britannieum of Williams. The spelling of the latter has been generally followed. 

Abbow Pabk. — Oarow Park. The rough park or field : from garoWy rough, pare^ a field or dose. 

Baochus Pabk. — Bagas Park. The bush park or field : from hagas, bush, pare^ a field or close. 

Baoon Pabk. — Beckon Park. The little park or field : from beehan, little, small, parCy a field or close. 

Babbabt. — Bar hre. The top of the hill : from bar^ the top or summit, bre a hill, a mountain. 

Bbaole Moob. — Bigal Moor. The shepherd's moor or common : from bigal^ shepherd. 

BxAV Pabk. — Bykan Park. The little park or field : from byhan^ little, small, pare^ a field. 

Bnxows Field. — Pile% Field. The bare field : from pile%y bare, bald. 

Bliss Park. — Pilet Park. The bare or barren field : from pilH, bare, bald. 

Blue Pabk. — Pleto Park. The parish park or field : from pleto, parish, pare, a close or field. 

Bolstbb — Bol tit. The earth pit : from bol, a pit, a hole, tir, land, earth, soil, ground. 

Soirr — A Celtic Cornish word for an axe, a hatchet. 

Boost. — Boudihi, A cow-house. 

Bbaitdt. — Branty, The crow's house : from bran^ a crow, ty or ti, a house. 

BuoLi Ink. — Bugel Inn. The herdsman's or shepherd's inn : from bugel, a herdsman or shepherd. 

Button. — Bod oon. The dwelling-house on the down or common : from bod, a dwelling-house, oon or gunm^ a 

down, common, or field. 
Camel Field. — Camtnen Field. The path field: from camtnenf a way, a path; or, the chamomile fielcL 

Chamomile flowers are called camels in Cornwall. 
Caitb Pabk.— X«n Park. The ridge park or field : from kein, the ridge of a hill, pare, a field. 
Cavil Closb. — Kevil Close. The horse field : from kevil, a horse.

PRINCE L. L. BONAPARTE'S LETTER 

ACCUSING PRYCE OF PLAGIARISM. 



To the Puhliih&r of th$ Camhrtan Journal. 

LoHDON, Nov. 80, 1861. 
Deab Sib, 

When you asked me some time ago to send you some papers on the Celtic Languages, I promised on 
the first occasion when I had a leisure moment to comply with your wish. My intention was to send you a 
very particularized description of a previous manuscript containing a Cornish Yocahulary hy Tonkin and 
Gwavas, the same that Pryce unscrupulously printed at Sherborne, in 1790 under his own name, and whose 
real performance took place at least fifty years previously. This manuscript is preceded by a very interesting 
correspondence between Tonkin and Gwavas on the Cornish language, as it was still spoken in their time in 
some of the western parishes of Cornwall, and would not fail to give great pleasure to every one that takes 
interest in the Celtic and particularly in the Cornish literature. 

Still, as I have no immediate prospect of printing the aforesaid valuable correspondence, and as the 
production of the evidence of the plagiate of Pryce is by itself a rather interesting bibliographical &ct, £ 
hope you will excuse me, if for the present I limit myself to send you an exact copy of the dedication of 
Tonkin to Gwavas, preceding his Vocabulary, which your numerous readers may compare with Pryce's 
Preface. 

You will perceive by the terms in which the dedication of Tonkin is couched, the contrast between the 
unassuming style of one of the real authors, and the conceited one of the self-styled. 

Had Mr. Edwin Norris, the clever Editor of the Cornish Dramas, seen the whole of the Preface in 
question when I had the pleasure to point out to him in my library the plagiate of Mr. Pryce, I do not doubt 
that he would not have attributed to the celebrated Lhuyd the authorship of this work. 

And believe me, yours sincerely, 

L. L. BOKAPABTB. 



2o William Otoavas of OtoavaSf in the County of Cornwall E$quir$. 
Dbab SiB| 

In dedicating the two following articles to you, vis.. Title YIH, A collection of modern Cornish 
Pieces — and, Title IX, A Cornish Vocabulary — I do but in a manner restore to you what in a great measure 
belonged to you before, since 'tis what you ha?e, in the first of these, for the best and greatest part, supply'd 
me with out of your own store and compositions ; and as for the latter, vi%. The Vocabulary, I must always 
acknowledge that without your kind assistance, I should never have been able to have gone through with it, 
especially in the Modem or Vulgar Cornish. It is therefore but common justice to lay before you these 
parts of the present undertaking, in which you have so large a share, and to whom must be owing their 
appearing, if not in perfection, at least without any great and notorious errors. I wish indeed it had been in

either of our powers to have made the Yooahulary more compleat : but such as it is, I fear it is the utmost 
that can be done in it. There are, that ever I could here of, no other Cornish manuscripts to be mett with 
any where, than those which are published in this present volume, out of which I have extracted those words 
in the Vocabulary, which are to be found in them, and to which I have severally refer'd in my quotations. 
And as for the vulgar Cornish now spoken (except what I have taken out of Mr. Lhuyd's ArchsBologia) it is 
reduced to such a small nook of the country, and t liose ancient persons that still speak it, are even there so 
few, the language itself so corrupted, and they too for the most part such illiterate people, that I cannot 
sufficiently commend your great industry in gathering together so much of it, and that so correct, as you have 
now enabled me to set forth; since, what it has been my fortune to collect myself has been so little in comparison, 
as not to deserve the naming separately. I may add too, that very few of those that speak the langtiage, can 
give any tolerable account of the orthography, much less of the etymology, or derivation of those words which 
they make use of, and are many times apt to jumble two or three words together, making but one of them all, 
tho' they pronounce them rightly enough. Of this you were pleased to give me lately some instances — as in 
merastaduy which they thus pronounce in one breath, as if it had been but one word, whereas it is a contrac- 
tion of four, tneor Va« tha Dew, much thanks to God, and anciently written, maur groi tha Deu^ and merastatoky, 
much thanks to you, a contraction of meor Vai tha why. 

If there had been the least prospect left of recovering Mr. Lhuyd's papers, especially his Cornish 
Vocabulary (which he tells us in his ArchsBologia pag. 253. he had by him ready for the press) I should have 
defer'd the publishing this, yet for some time longer ; but as I have long since given over my hopes of it, so I 
doubt the death of S'. Thomas Sebright* (in whose hands, you know, all Mr, Lhuyd's manuscript colleclions . 
were) will put a full end to those, which you had so justly conceiv'd from S'. W*. Care w's late promises to you, 
and the fresh assurance of his assistance in procuring them for you, the heir being a minor of tender years, and 
the difficulties which attend such a state, from trustees, &®., not leaving you any probability of suceeding in it. 
And here I cannot forbear bewailing my own misfortune in having, by being imposed upon myself, been in a 
great degree the occasion of his delaying the publication of it which you will find a hint of in one of his 
letters, p. 49, and my remark under it, since I was the person who gave him the information mentioned in the 
preface to his Archesologia, '' that a gentleman near Truro was composing a Cornish Vocabulary/' and had 
" some thoughts ef publishing it." — And indeed being then but young, and wholly a stranger to his character, 
I believed his mighty pretences, which I had soon reason to repent of. — But I shall forbear saying any more 
in this place, for I have not corresponded with him for these many years, and shall only give him this 
friendly admonition, that, if he still entertains thoughts of publishing his An Laymer ay JTemotCy and (what 
he calls) his Parochial Antiquities of Cornwall, he would do well to have them carefully revis'd by some learned 
discreet persons, especially the latter, which the late very ingenious Dr. Kestell, not long before his death, 
telliog me he had seen, was pleas*d to add of it (altering only one word) that noted saying of Juvenal. 

Quioquid errant homines •

For^ said the Doctor, he has scraped togethtr all the xcandal, ordure ^ and filth that he could possibly meet with of any 
person or family. — 

This disappointment to the learned, and curious in ancient languages, which I was so inadvertently the 
occasion of, has made me the more desirous of endeavouring at some amends for it ; and since both those pieces 
have pass'd under your correction and review, I flatter myself that they will be candidly receiv'd by the 
publick, especially our own countrymen, for whom this whole collections chiefly design'd, and that, since you 
have so kindly lent me your helping hand, they may in some measure supply the loss of what we had, with 
confidence, reason to expect from that most learned and judicious antiquary. —

APPENDIX. 205 

I have in my preface in the beginning gi^en an account of the present undertaking , and the reasons 
which induced me to print it. and shall therefore detain you no longer than to return you my thanks for all 
your favors and to subscribe my self, 

Dear Sir, Your very affectionate humble servant,

Pol Gorran, July f 19'>» 

1736.— 

The following is the concluding part of Pryce's preface : — 

" As for the vulgar Cornish now spoken, it is so confined to the extremest comer of the county, and those 
ancient persons who still pretend to jabber it, are even there so few ; the speech itself is so corrupted, and 
the people, too, for the most part, are so illiterate, that I cannot but wonder at my patience, and assume some 
merit to myself, for my singular industry in collecting the words which I have accumulated from oral 
intelligence, especially, as hardly any of the persons whom I have consulted, could give a tolerable account of 
the orthography, much less of the etymology, or derivation of those words which they use ; for they often join, 
or rather run, two or three words together, making but one of them all, though their pronunciation is 
generally correct, as, for instance, '* Mercufadu,^^ which they pronounce in one breath, as if it were a single 
word, whereas it is a contraction of four, •' Meor ^rat tha iMw,'^ many thanks to God, anciently written, 
** Maur gran tha T>3U>y^ and, ** Mitaatawlty y many thanks to you, a contraction of ** Maw Wa% tha whyP 

As the above letter of Prince L. L. Bonaparte contains only a part of Pryce's preface, it will be more 
fair to Pryce to give the whole. A verbation copy of the preface to the Archasologia Comu-Britannioa is 
therefore inserted here to serve as Pryce's defence, and also because of the information the preface contains. 
It is very probable that there were more words and phrases of the ancient language of Cornwall known, and used 
about a century ago. than Prince L. L. Bonaparte seems to be aware of. This may be the reason why Pryce felt 
justified in appropriating what Tonkin wrote to Gwavas, applying the words to his own time, about 1790. 
Even now there are men living (Mr. Bernard Victor, of Moushole, and Mr. W. F. Pentreath, of Newquay, to 
wit), who know many Cornish words quite apurt from books ; words which have been handed down, and are 
not t-et dead. Furthermore, the Conjish dialect is to this day full of Celtic Cornish words. But let Pryce's 
preface speak for itself.

PRYCE'S PREFACE 



TO THE 



ARCHEOLOGIA CORN U-BRITANNICA. 



1 own it may appear unnecessary to the learned at this period to attempt an investigation of the high 
antiquity of the British language, of which the Cornish is most incontestably a very pure dialect. The 
subject hath been already successfully treated by many diligent and able writers, to the entire satisfaction of 
those who delight in researches of this kind. 

Yet, it must be acknowledged, that a local inquiry and disquisition into the antiquity of our Comu-Biitiah 
language has not been so particularly attended to as it deserves. And as the discovery of an original language 
is the first and leading step to the progressional examination of all other antiquities of a country, it follows of 
course, that the oldest tongue ought to be studied and understood previously to our entering upon the remains 
of less remote ages. 

On this consideration I am inclined to believe, that a work of this tendency will be very acceptable, both 
to the Antiquarian and the Philologist ; especially as I can safely assert, that the old Cornish- British, which 
k here distinguiFhed very precisely from the modem Cornish dialect, is the most pure and nearest the 
original of any speech now used in Armorica, or the northern provinces of France, Great Britain, and Ireland. 

The C'hHldean, Syriac, Egyptian, Arabic, Phenician, Celtic, Gaulish, "Welsh, and Cornish languages are all 
derived from the original Hebrew tongue ; and in their descent one from the other, in travelling from the East 
to the West, have branched themselves into so many different dialects from one and the same root. 

The Hebrew and Chaldee are very nearly the same ; and the Syriac is next to the latter. The former 
flourished from the beginning of the world to the Babylonish captivity, 340U years : But in our Saviour's 
time the Jews spoke the Syriac language, and Christ and his Apostles conversed in it. 

As from the Hebrews to the Canaanites or Phenicians, so from the Pheiiicians to the Greeks came letters 
and arts : And accordingly, from the Phenician character, the Greeks appear to have composed their letters, 
and the Latins progressively from the Greeks. 

So likewise, our ancient and true Cornish appears to be mostly derived from the Greek and old Latin 
tongues, as it participates much of their cadence and softness, with less of the guttural harshness peculiar to 
the Hebrew and Chaldee. This is the more easily accounted for, as the Phenicians, about the time of the 
Trojan war, first discovered the Scilly Islands, and the western shores of Cornwall ; with the natives of which 
they traded for tin, and sold it to the Greeks. The language at that time spoken in other parts of this island, 
having travelled across a vast continent, was compounded and impure, and therefore we may boldly infer, that 
the superior purity of the ancient Cornish is chiefly to be ascribed to its genuine introduction from the shores 
of Greece and Sidon. 

It is affirmed by writers, that the inland parts of our island were first planted from the German continent, 
about eight hundred years after the Flood, and not from the Gauls : And indeed it is very possible that the 
body of the south-western part of the island was peopled from the Belgic, and Gaulish countries both, on 
account of their propinquity to our opposite coasts and inlets of safety. Nevertheless, our dialect in Cornwall

A.PPENDIX. 207 

must certainly have obtained that purity, tor which it is celebrated, from its immediate introduction by the 
Phenician navigators ; especially as the character and orthography are so greatly softened and the language is 
divested of that rough guttural pronunciation, which is retained to this time by the Cambro- Britons. In fact| 
the Cornish and the Armoric dialects are the most nearly allied in character, orthography, and sound, of any 
two of the British dialects. The Welsh, Irish, and Erse differ from each other greatly ; and the two latter 
differ from the Cornish and Gaulish very much. Indeed the Welsh is closely related to us, and would appear 
more so, if it were deprived of those numerous combinations of consonants, with which it is, to us, perplexed 
and entangled. 

Hence we may easily account for the similarity existing between the Cornish and Armoric-British ;. for the 
coasts of Bretagne, Normandy, and Picardy, are opposite to the shores of Cornwall, Devon, &c., so that the 
first commercial discoverers of those lands, in their sailing up the British Channel, had equal opportunities of 
communicating their Grecian and Roman dialects of the Syriac root. This is evidenced by the colloquial 
resemblance to this day subsisting betwixt the Cornish on tbe south-western margin of the county, and their 
opposite neighbours at Morlaix, and other parts of Bas Bretagne, where the low French and the Cornish seem 
almost one and the same dialect. If i had not been otherwise well apprized of this fact, yet my opinion 
would have been confirmed by what I have heard from a very old man now living at Moushole, near Penzance, 
who, I believe, is, at this time, the only person capable of holding half an hour's conversation on common 
subjects in the Cornish tongue. He tells me, that above threescore years ago, being at Morlaix on board a 
smuggling cutter, and the only time he was ever there, he was ordered on shore with another young man to 
buy some greens, and not knowing a word of French, as he thought, he was much surprised to find that he 
understood a great part of the conversation of some boys at play in the street ; and upon further inquiry, he 
found that he could make known all his wants in Cornish, and be better understood than he could be at home, 
when he used that dialect. I am well satisfied of the fact, as he is quite an illiterate man, and could have 
neither the temptation nor the ingenuity to invent a story so useless to himself. 

So many centuries having elapsed since the ancient and true dialect hath been spoken, it is now become 
altogether obsolete, if not totally dead. I have therefore made a distinction between the ancient and modem 
Cornish in some pieces, such as the Creed, Lord's Prayer, Proper Names of Places,^ &c., as more notorious and 
useful for critical inspection : And in the Vocabulary throughout, I have sedulously preferred and extracted 
from the MSS. which I have collected, all the ancient Cornish I could find in them, divested of Saxon words 
with Cornish accents and terminations, imposed by oral and illiterate tradition. 

The old British language being superseded by the adoption and general cultivation of the Teutonic or Saxon 
tongue, in process of time became unintelligible and useless in the body and bulk of this island, whence it 
was driven to the borders and extremities, such as Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall, where it still maintains a 
reverence and footing among the respective inhabitants, in the dress of differing dialects. Indeed, the 
veneration in which it is held in Wales is sufficiently shewn by the preservation of it among the natives ; 
many thousands of the peasantry scarcely knowing how to make themselves understood in the Saxon or 
English. 

To such a height of enthusiasm is it revered by many of the inland inhabitants, that they hold all other 
speech in the utmost contempt ; preferring their own predilection with the most stubborn perverscness. and 
shunning in the most contumaceous manner every sort of interlocution and communion with any other tongue, 
till overcome by the pressure of their necessities, and the unavoidable intercourse of mankind in trade and 
business. 

Had the Cornish been equally pertinacious with them, wo should not have had reason to lament the loss of 
our native language for those many ages during which it has been almost sunk into oblivion among us, but

such has been the neglect of our ancestors, and the depredation of time, that our primitive speech was nearij 
annihilated before the Art of Printing could perpetuate' the memory of it to posterity. 

So habitually inattentive were they, that many years after the discovery of this Art, they never adverted 
to the preservation of the MSS. in their language, so that the only MS. extant, was that found in the Cotton 
Library, now about 800 years old, from which time no other MS. appears, till about the fifteenth century, 
when we meet with one, which exhibits three Ordinalla or Interludes taken from Holy Writ: — I. th 
Origine mundi ; 2. Of the passion of our Lord; S. Of the liesurreetion. The originals of these are all in 
the Bodleian Library ; as likewise one Ordinale, Of the creation of the world and the deluge, by William 
Jordan, of Hellaston, anno 1611. The 5th and last book is a poem, entitled Mount Calvary, On the passion 
tod resurrection of our Lord and Saviour. This MS. written on vellum, was given by Mr. Anstis, Garter 
King at Arms, to Mr. Lhuyd ; but when or by what author it was written is wholly uncertain, though this 
copy, by the hand writing, may also be attributed to the fifteenth century. 

The late Rev. Dr. William Borlase, my learned friend and relation, received a copy of this poem (which is 
the best of the whole in the Cornish tongue) from the B«v. Dr. Lyttleton, Dean of Exeter, afterwards Bishop 
of Carlisle ; which was written under the direction of Mr. Scawen, of Molinick, who says ** That he had long 
had a proposal and a desire for the recovery of our primitive tongue ; and that at the last assizes, 1678, that 
he was able to be at in Launceston to perform his duty to his King and country, there in the Judges' chambers 
happened some speech to be of things memorable in Cornwall, and particularly concerning the ancient Corn- 
ish tongue ; for the loss or decay whereof Sir Francis North, then Lord Chief Justice, afterwards Lord 
Keeper, seemed to be concerned ; blaming us all then present ; Enquiring also whether there were anything 
written in it now remaining. I told his Lordship, I had an old Cornish piece long in my keeping, nz., The 
passion of Christ described in Cornish heroic metre. His Lordship was earnest for a sight of it. This, 
spoken by such a person, a stranger to our country (and 1 having thereupon promised it to him, at his next 
coming in circuit) it put me into more serious thoughts concerning it than formerly. 

'' Accordingly I prepared it with some additions thereon, as well as I could, (without help of fit books, 
and men living, and good associates by me), but then by reason of grievous infirmities grown upon me, in the 
mean time, expressed by syncopes and other distempers. I was not able to present it to his Lordship as I 
intended ; together with the discourse which takes its rise from the aforementioned conference in 1678, since 
which time it hath layen upon my hands. 

•* I do not know any Cornish. writing else extant, and this hath been a long time reserved by me as a 
precious relict.* How ancient it is may be in part guessed at, but not clearly made out by demonstration. 
But as to the speech itself preserved in this wfiting, it is such as the common speakers of ♦he Cornish now 
used here, and in Wales, and Armorica do not understand it ; nor any but such as will be studious in it : No 
more, than the common speakers of the vulgar tongue of the Greeks do at this day Homer's Iliads. Words 
of one another, *tis true, all those three sorts of people do understand alternately ; not all. but mostly such as 
are radical. Colloquies of one another they do not enjoy, nor distinguish the several dialects ; and least of all 
do our common speakers understand this MS. but such of them as, upon study, come to the knowledge of it, 
commend the elegancy thereof extremely. 

'' If I should say, that these endeavours of mine, would be totally useful and successful to the recovery 
of the speech, as ill qualified as I am, I know well it must be thought more vain and censurable in me, now at 
84, than it was in Tully to attempt the Greek tongue at 60 years. For me it wiU suffice me, if I do but, ho& 
digito monstrara viam,^^ 



* By this it appears, that Mr. Scawen had never seen the plays before mentioned.— ^ifote bp Prpee.)

Unfortunately this was the case ; for in the same year, that worthy old gentleman departed this life, and 
left his papers on our subject in a very disordered condition, together with several others on Stannary business, 
he being also Vice- Warden of the Stannaries many years before his death. 

Here a pause succeeds to any further inquiries into our subject for more than twenty years ; when Mr. 
Lhuyd coming into Cornwall professedly on this business, it made Mr. Tonkin, Mr. Eeigwin| Mr. Gwavas, and 
eeveral other Cornish gentlemen, very solicitous to promote his success, by all the assistance in their power, 
which was not inconsiderable, as from a strong pUspossession in favour of their native language, they were 
exceedingly zealous in the cause, and diligent in their endeavours to restore this object of their veneration to 
its former honours. Accordingly we find in the correspondence of Mr. Lhuyd and Mr. Tonkin, about the 
commencement of the present century, that Mr. Lhuyd had gone great lengths towards the formation of a 
Cornish-British Vocabulary, as he says at the end of his Cornish Grammar, p. 25.S. — ^That looking over the 
sheets of his said Grammar he must recall the promise made in his preface, p. 222, of a Cornish-English 
Vocabulary, there being no room for it in that Volume of Glossography, and therefore must defer it 'till the 
next. Mr. Lhuyd's death about the year 1709 frustrated his pood intention, which must have been the 
greatest loss to this pursuit that it ever had, or ever will meet with, on account of his profound learning and 
singular attachment to the recovery of our primitive language. Li his hands, particularly fitted as he was for 
the undertaking, and supplied with every essential article of erudition from surrounding libraries, not only the 
recovery of this dialect would have been affected, but it would have been adorned with every elegancy and 
improvement, from the unceasing labours of such a consummate Philologist. 

Soon after the death of Mr, Lhuy<l, all his MS. collections were surrendered to the custody of Sir Thomas 
Sebright, who died in 1736. His heir being a minor of tender years, and the trustees unmindful of such 
things as were not obviously and immediately connected with the benefit of their charge, those collections 
were eventually buried, and lost to all future publick inspection.* 

Here I should observe also that about the 15th year of this century, the publick expectation was turned 
towards Mr. Hals^ of Fenton Gymps, who professed u warm affection for the dialect of his country and took 
uncommon pains to heap together a mass of words which he entitled Lhadymer ay Kernow^ or the Cornish 
Interpreter ; which I discovered, some years since, by certain notices found among Mr. Tonkin's writings, Uf 
be in the custody of the Rev. Henry Hawkins Tremayne. Mr. Tremayne, on my application, found the MS. 
and lent it to me for a considerable time. 

Mr. Hals's Lhadymer is a most strange hodge-podge of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and British words, con- 
fusedly heaped together, and in such a manner as not only to shew his want of method, but also to expose his 
great deficiency in those learned languages, which he lugged in to support and illustrate his etymology ; it 
being common with him to write Tempore regnum Augmtm; ostium fluviue, &c. Indeed all his knowledge of 
those languages appears to have been derived from some books, with which he was furnished by his first wife, 
the widow of one Code, a schoolmaster of St. Wenn. However, as this farrago contained some intelligence 
not unworthy my notice, I took particular care to Relert all that was valuable and proper for my purpose. 

About the time of Mr. Lhuyd's demise. Messrs. Tonkin. Keigwin, and Gwavas, with other associates, 
kept up a correspondence in their native tongue, as well as they could, by collecting all the mottoes, proverbs, 
and idioms, on which they could lay their hands. 

In this collection Mr. Tonkin took the lead, being determined to publish a Cornish Word-Book in his then 
proposed History and Antiquities of Cornwall illustrated, in three volumes, quarto. But being a person of a 

* It may not be too late even now to reoover the lost or '' buried " papers left by Lhnyd. I do not know that any ttrict 
search has ever been made. Will the Philological Society make an effort for thii purpose ? F. W.P.J.

SIO APPENDIX. 

desultory tarn, and meeting wita many vexationa and difficulties in the world, he died before he had com- 
pleated the work. He left, indeed* a largd mass of MS. books, but thej were thrown together without any 
sort of order or connection. Had this gentleman been as happy and steady in his dispontion, as he was 
distinguished by his learning and genius, his abilities would have ensured applause far superior to the coldness 
of simple approbation. 

Mr. Tonkin was assisted in his undertaking by the critical knowledge and industry of William GwaYas^ 
Esq., who was indefatigable in collecting and ascertaining words for his use and arrangement. Mr. Martin 
Keigwin likewise, and his son Mr. John Eeigwin, both inhabitants of the little fishing village of Mousbole, 
and who had sucked in the broken dialect with their milk, were ready upon all occasions to clear up any 
doubts that might arise, and were generally fortunate in removing those difficulties, which embarrassed the 
other gentlemen. 

The result of this coalition was an alphabetical arrangement of words ; not, however, in the manner ol 
the Vocabulary found in the Cotton Library, which is exceedingly devious and irregular, being written 
throughout in continued lines, without any respect to order and verbal distribution. In consequence of the 
death of Mr. Tonkin, this collection must have lain some time subject to the caprice of his descendants, 
who were illiterate women, and was therefore liable to much loss and mutilation, till it was taken into tha 
protection of the late Robert Hoblyn, of Nanswhidden, Esq., in whose celebrated library it met with a safe 
asylum. It was afterwards taken thence, and committed to my trust by favour of the late John Quicke, Esq., 
who married the relict of Mr. Hoblyn, and who, with reiterated expressions of his wish to see it warmed into 
life, consigned it to my care for correction, additions, and publication ; to which end I pledged my diligence 
and application, with whatever assistance I could procure from the MSS. before mentioned, together with some 
detached papers from Mrs. Veal, the daughter of Mr. Gwavas ; from Mrs. Mary TJstick, the widow of the 
Eev. Henry Ustick, of Breage ; and from the papers of Mr. John Bosons, of Newlyn. I also applied to Miss 
Foss, the representative of her grandfather, Thomas Tonkin, Esq., for the use of his other MSS. to which I 
had access, and from which I extracted all that I could find valuable in that rich mass of indigested materials. 

The manuscript ground-work of my undertaking being thus acknowledged, I must also confess my implicit 
submission to the works of Mr. Lhuyd, and of the late Dr. Wm. Borlase, who, in the interval betwixt the 
death of Mr. Tonkin, and his papers being delivered into my custody, published at the end of his AntiquiiiM 
of Cornwall an epitomised Vocabulary, which has furnished a few useful additions to my larger collection. It 
is likewise with singular satisfaction that 1 acknowledge my obligations to the Rev, Mr. Whitaker, of Ruan 
Lanyhom, for his communications, and his criticisms on the British language ; a Gentleman, whose warm 
defence of our ancient tongue deserves the grateful applause of his country. 

After much consideration how to render my performance so full and complete as to engage the approbation 
of the publick, and as the curious nature of the undertaking demands, I determined to make it a digest of the 
Cornish-British language, by introducing in the First Part the marrow of Mr. Lhuyd's Grammar, with some 
additions, in which are incorporated his instructions for the reading of old British MSS. I hope this very 
learned Introduction to Philology, which I have reprinted at the entrance of my book, will not be found out 
of its place. The Second Part contains my Vocabulary, consisting of several thousand words, collected and 
arranged from the materials already mentioned. This hath employed the labour of many years ; and perhaps, 
a work of a drier kind hath seldom been undertaken by any harmless drudge whomsoever.* As the whole of 
the Cotton Vocabulary is inserted, I have taken care to note each word from that ancient remain, with this 
mark f- The Third and last Part consists of the Cornish Proper Names of Hundreds, Parishes, Villages, ftc, 
with their distinctions of the old and modem Cornish set forth in the concisest manner I could adopt, so that

APPEl^DES:. 211 

the reader may, at a single glance, apprehend the difference. This is followed by the Creed, Pater Noster, and 
Decalogne in both Ancient and Modem Cornish, and also Mottoes, Proyeibs, and Sayings in the vulgar Cornish ; 
with the last correspondence between Mr. Lhuyd and Mr. Tonkin. 

I wish, indeed, it had been within the compass of my knowledge, to have rendered the Yocabolary per- 
fect and complete ; but the scanty and limited materials I had to consult, rendered every hope of that kind 
abortive ; For according to the best information I have been able to procure, there are no other Cornish MSS. to 
be met with any where, beside those I have already mentioned ; from which I have extracted those words in 
the Vocabulary, which are to be found in them, illustrated by numerous quotations from them, which are 
familiar to the language of scripture and the popular idiom. 

As for the vulgar Cornish now spoken, it is so confined to the extremest comer of the county, and those 
ancient persons who still pretend to jabber it, are even there so few ; the speech itself is so cormpted, and the 
people toO| for the most part, are so illiterate, that I cannot but wonder at my patience, and assume some merit 
to myself, for my singular industry, in collecting the words which I have accumulated from oral intelligence ; 
especially, as hardly any of the persons whom I have consulted, could give a tolerable account of the ortho- 
graphy, much less of the etymology, or derivation of those words, which they use ; for they often join, or 
rather run two or three words together, making but one of them all, though their pronunciation is generally 
coirect : — ^As for instance, MfrastadUf which they pronounce in one breath, as if it were a single word, whereas 
it is a contraction of four, Meor *ras tha D§w ; '' Many thanks to God," anciently written, Maur grot tha Deu^ 
and, M0ra$thawhy^ *< Many thanks to you," a contraction of Mtmr Wm tha why.

ERRATA. 

In the Introdnction it is said that Dr. Banniftei's unfinished MS. ci an Knglish-Oomish DiotionaiT lies 
boned in the British Mnseom. This is trae, but it should be explained that since the flMt part of this 
book was printed. Dr. James Jago, of Troro, has informed me that " The Boyal Institution of Cornwall is 
in possession of a copy of Dr. Williams's Comuh'BriUsh Zexicon, presented by the widow of Dr. Bannister, 
and containing on interleaves of writing-paper fre^ from print, plentiful notes from his hand, Taried and 
elaborate, and ranging throughout the work." 

It is to be hoped that one day Dr. Bannister's MSS. will be printed. They cannot but be valuable, coming 
as they do, from one so weU acquainted with Ancient Cornish.
